The International Olympic Committee will pay its final technical visit to PyeongChang this week ahead of the start of the 2018 Winter Olympics in the South Korean host city, South Korean organizers said Monday.

The organizing committee for the Olympics said the IOC will conduct its ninth and final Project Review on PyeongChang over two days starting Tuesday.

The organizers said IOC officials will review PyeongChang's preparations for the first Winter Olympics in South Korea, checking on venues, ticket sales and Olympic promotions.
